Bronchitis, or excess heat in lung (Qi level)

Bronchitis, or excess heat in lung (Qi level)

As a child I suffered from many ear and sinus infections and had bronchitis with asthma twice a year (March and August). I took so many antibiotics I could prescribe myself! 😉 But the illness kept coming back. I never thought that it shouldn’t, I thought I had a propensity to being sick…but now I know the illness just never cleared. I told my doctor I felt like there was humidity in me. That is what it was: heat and phlegm. I now know the real issue wasn’t being addressed and antibiotics were only creating more heat, and driving the illness further in.

Educate yourself for you and your family.

Excessive Heat in the Lung:
Also called heat in the chest and diaphragm. Heat impairs the descending ability of Lung qi causing shortness of breath, asthma, shortness of breath, and coughing (with yellow sputum).

Cause: an external heat pathogen entering the body thru the nose or mouth. It normally started with a cold that did not get expelled properly or if the pathogen was strong it passed right thru. This is the Qi stage, the second stage, of illness with some of the most severe symptoms. The stronger your immune system is the more severe the symptoms will be as they fight the pathogen. Think of your immune system vs the pathogen being on an axis between a strong samurai fighter destroying an enemy versus a sleeper spy who sneaks into your body and goes undetected.
Be strong grasshopper! Attack and rid your body of the pathogen! Strengthen your body when well and rest when sick. Eat proper foods for your body and take the right herbs when needed.
